I've been using a Vector torch for a few years and love it. It was an Xmas gift from a coworker. Until reading this I never looked them up...wow they're expensive!

I was just browsing through my photos and came across some from the beginning of the year, right before buying a new box. I was tired of dealing with the replacement cman sockets so I bought 3/8 SO sockets. That started the madness. Only posting 1 drawer, the rest grew at about the same rate...

Picked up some more sockets. He gave me a promo price on the big metric set with axle nut sockets. Ordered 1/2 SAE deep impacts. Also grabbed an LED light, 12pt shallow 3/8, and 3/8 locking flex...expensive day.

Except for when you're playing around with quality finished nuts/bolts on hot rods, Harley's, and the like. Even for typical auto work, I only use my FD+ wrenches for removal. For everything else I use my standard FD wrenches. :thumbup:

Have to recommend the Snappy set as well. I thought I wouldn't use many of the odd shaped picks and I was very wrong. It's an awesome set that I use often. Don't really know of any other equivalents? Maybe look in the truck tool equivalent thread.

I just replaced all my Craftsman sockets (along with a bunch more stuff) with Snap-on. I recently bought a house and needed tools in my new garage, so my old Craftsman stuff will be perfect. My reasons to go with Snap-on was a lot of what has been mentioned. Around here cman stuff is a pain to...

Most mig/tig combo's will only do DC tig welding. You really want AC to tig aluminum. I'd personally recommend a good mig unit and then a tig/stick combo. A buddy recently picked this up. He's a boilermaker and apparently these are all the rave in his circle. I have to say, I'm rather...

IMO Snap-on's 14.4 line is about the only thing I'd buy. Recently I traded in my 8850 for some other tools, since I hardly used it. More than once I had coworkers show me up with their Milwaukee 2763. I also think Milwaukee, IR, and DeWalt reign supreme in the 18-20v stuff. Surprised nobody is...

I figured that would have been the 1st response as well lol. They have 3 different sizes and I haven't come across anything they won't fit (including a Focus).

I changed all my sockets over to SO around November. All of the 3/8's (deeps were same # as yours) came with the mag trays. 1/2" came in the horizontal trays you have. Don't know when it was changed...I'll have to ask. I doubt they're worth any difference in price. Edit: forgot I had this pic I...

The rep came in to hang some dispensers and give us some cleaner to try. All our employees were standing around laughing...then the HR manager made us cut the top half of the label off lol. They really do have some awesome products, and I've tried 99% of everything listed thus far.

Beaver Nut Scrub (ya I know)....the stuff is awesome! https://www.beaverresearch.com/index.html

More than I had planned. Somewhere around $10k

My 1st truck purchase was a Snap-on distributor wrench almost 20yrs ago

I don't get the only metric thing. I agree I use it the most, but not always. Almost everything I work on is domestic, though. Just did struts, tie-rods, end links, and brakes on a '10 Caddy DTS tonight. Used 9/16 and 5/8 a bunch. Strut and ball joint tools are 3/4 or 7/8. My Jeep is mixed...

I just recently changed all my sockets to Snap-on. Before that all I had were older Craftsman. I've been using Dual 80's with those sockets for years without issue.

Their plier handles vary some. My snap ring plier set has about 3 different shades of green.

I just swapped SD cards in my phone and haven't dumped my libraries to it yet. Let me know if you want more and I'll send ya a PM on Monday.

72" Tool Vault from STB. I've been super impressed with it so far

More to add. Finally received some of the cordless stuff. Then bought more...
